Surly's Soap Box

Can't you just feel the love?
Err...I mean hate. Once again, in an effort to keep blacks from thinking for themselves, to keep them on the plantation, a 'leader' has tried to strike fear and generate hatred because they lack any real vision or answers.


Civil rights activist and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina last night, equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as "tokens."



Ah yes, taking his lead from Harry Belafonte, tearing down people who have climbed up in the world through means other than as entertainers and lawyers. Remember: Hard work is not a virtue! Fame and Fortune can only be won through dancing, singing and acting, or through being a lawyer.

But there was a ray of hope:

The talk so infuriated at least one black family in attendance among the 900 in the auditorium that they got up and walked out in protest.

"He went on and on name calling," said Lee Wilson. "I walked out in the middle of his speech with my wife and three kids"


Maybe someday an entire crowd of blacks will stand up and turn their backs on scum like this. Then maybe people will quit booking them.

Hmmm, considering the NAACP is a nonprofit organization, there is an organization that may want to take a little look at Bond’s partisanship – the IRS.

Only one family, huh?

I guess it's only us white, evil, heartless, bigoted conservatives who are the "real" racicsts.
